I have removed all, set aside all. I have asked for no support from creative, fantastic ideas from
situations other than those existing. I have tried to take everything back to basics, to the absolute
minimum necessary to set out. I have found a body, mine, the means at hand, and in fact the most
suitable for this journey. The wish to speak of my ideas of course, of my way of being, but not in what
is found in the conscious compartments of my brain, daily pondered upon and rationally suited to
catalogue truths which are more or less valid. The wish to speak to a part which is too infrequently
open to access, existing in each of us yet with few spaces to be called into play. I became immersed in
a condition that I believe is linked only to that instinctive intelligence – forever my travelling
companion – and almost never to rationality. In fact I allowed myself free range, I let movement
come about from outside, in particular from music as well as sounds, noises, to achieve silence – if I
may give that name to the semblance of silence. I then had to attempt to gain experience from it, to
find the right way to undertake it, for each different type of way to discover what means takes shape
to deal with it. In the event, having to interpret the “moment”, a little like a conqueror. (Or else, on
the contrary, to know how to be left in disorder). I want everything that is a sound stimulus to be my
inspiration to dance, and I want the ears of the audience to listen undisturbed to the same thing,
even to the story told by Johnny Cash, with his words that lead elsewhere, while, “from the same
room”, eyes watch a dance that in itself has nothing explicit. Only at the end, looking back, I
recognize my own experience.
